Lahore: A petition against Prime Minister (PM) Shahid Khaqan Abbasi has been submitted in Lahore High Court (LHC) for holding anti-judiciary speech during his Sialkot visit.

According to details, Advocate Azhar Siddiq filed a petition on the behalf of civil society’s Amna Malik, stating that the premier insulted Supreme Court’s (SC) Panama decision by saying that it will go in trash.

The petitioner said that PM Abbasi should have not uttered such words as he is head of the state. She further demanded to launch contempt of court investigation against him.

Earlier, LHC had issued notices to ex-prime minister (PM) Nawaz Sharif and his daughter Maryam Nawaz in a case pertaining to anti-judiciary speeches.
